Al Stewart is a master song writer. This song is about a guy who runs into an old friend in a pub/bar, and starts talking to him, reminiscing about days gone by. The friend says nothing. Then the guys says, hey, don't you have anything to say? And his friend says no, I don't remember, I don't want to remember.... Brilliant guitar from Tim Renwick. Tim has had a long career, and if you would like to see him, find a copy of either Pulse or Delicate Sound Of Thunder by Pink Floyd, Tim is the second guitarist in those shows. Oh, and you mentioned John Lennon, Al knew Yoko Ono before John , and Al played at the very first Glastonbury concert. When young, he lived next to a song writer who use to play his tunes to Al, that song writer was Paul Simon!
There are so many excellent Al Stewart songs. I'll name a few: End Of The Day...Antarctica...The Dark And Rolling Sea...Next Time...Flying Sorcery...Nostradamus...
This is when Al ran into his high school friend Michael des barre at a bar NYC the rest is self explanatory. Okay album that showed he was close to something.
Not just a songwriter, a wordsmith. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Al Stewart World. Once you're in you're hooked for life.

Tim is an old mate of Dave Gilmour's from their days growing up in Cambridge.
Al is a great composer with so many great songs but best known for his way with words. Nobody can match his way with words and descriptions.

Licence To Steal, Laughing Into 1939, where Are They Now, Old Admirals, Apple Cider Reconstitution, Mondo Sinistro..... The list is endless...
Roads to Moscow is my favorite Al Stewart song and a must for history lovers
